Everything's OK, I Have A New Flowmeter

The new flowmeter arrived yesterday. The only difference between it and the original one is that the new one came in a green rather than a red box. We'll use it on Friday at the Flint, where we'll attempt to do both driftnetting and transects for Brian. The challenge will also be to park in a believable place since the Farmer's Market doesn't want us to park on the edge of their property anymore. We can park over by Brier Fork and march down, which in warm weather isn't so bad. We'll see what happens this winter.

I also heard from the journal American Midland Naturalist about the 11-KT in scarlet shiners manuscript Jennifer Schade and I submitted last winter. They're happy to publish it with, of course, the caveat of some revisions. It's always humbling to see what clunkers you leave in a manuscript for other people to find (like spelling Anderson as Andeson in the Bibliography). But it's a fairly short list, so I hope we can turn it around and send it back to them in a month or two.
